I can use del.icio.us to track developments in the field of reading/language learning disabilities in neurological research, an area that faculty are involved in as teachers of dyslexic kids and as teachers of teachers . And it is definitely useful for accessing bookmarks at home AND at school, where I work on different computers. You have provided some great sites to check out, many of which I have added to my Bloglines via the RSS feed each site has.
A good example of how libraries use del.icio.us is Menasha Library. Why? Because they have tons of bundles, not just tags. Contrast their site with Thomas Ford, where they have not bundled up their tags, so you are looking at an alpha list of unrelated topics under a single bundle called--surprise--Tags. Done well, it is a great resource for your users. Like a good garden, web page or blog, del.icio.us needs lots of care and tending. Sadly, as a solo librarian, I would have trouble doing just that.
